DIR. HARRIsoN,s THREE SALARIES.

The notorious DR.. Harrison president of
the boards of State benevolent institutions,
has violated the law and public decency in l.
many respects that it becomes tedious to par
ticularize, but it is desirable the public should
know as far as possible what has been going
on. Of course the whole truth and the entire
extent of the wrongs that have been perpe-
trated can never be known, but the bits we
get suggest the rest. The House committee
of investigation in their report said:
.Dr. Harrison has drawn a salary of 81, 600
a year. while the law allows him, in our Judg-
ment, but 5000. He has overdrawn his salary
in the past four years So, 800. He contends
that he is not only entitled to 5000 as presi-
dent Of the board of trustees, but to $500 as
trustee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and
5000 as trustee of the Blind Asylum. Any
thing over and above the 5000 per year which
has been paid to DR.. Harrison has been paid
contrary to law and upon a forced strained
and unreasonable Interpretation of the statute
regulating the salaries Of the boards of trus-
tees"
Sec. 2769, r. S., says: s'The Governor, with
the consent of the Senate, shall appoint two
trustees each for the Asylum for the Blind,
the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the
Hospital for the Insane; and he shall appoint
president of the boards of trustees of said in
situations, and the president an d the two trus-
tees of each of said institutions shall consti-
tute tn board of trustees for the government
| thereof" This is plain enough. There are
two trustees for each institution and one
president for all the boards. Sec. 2778,
r. S., provides that "the president of the
boards shall receive as compensation for his
services salary at the rate of 5000 per an
mum; the trustees of the Insane Asylum shall
be paid 5000 to each; the trustees of the Insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb shall be paid sal
aries of $400 TO each, and the trustees of the
Asylum for the Blind shall be paid salaries
Of $500 each" This is all the law bearing on
the case 1t is plain to any man Of common
sense and common honesty that the law in
tended the salary of 5000 year to the presi
dent Of the three boards to be in full for all
his services in that behalf. But Harrison has
drawn his salary as president of the boards
and two other salaries as a member of two
| other boards; making ST. 800 year instead Of
5000 a year, or 500 year more than he is
entitled to. And he has been doing this fol
four years, making So, 800 which he has drawn
during that time more than the law give:
him. The Constitution provides that 'tne
person shall hold more than one lucrative
to have been holding three, and has actually
drawn three salaries during the last -four
years. 1t might be worth while for the Attor
ney- general to consider whether an action viii
not lie against Harrison or his bondsmen K
recover the sum thus illegally drawn.

TT is rumored that Robinson, the Green
back member who voted for Turpie after
holding out SO long, is to be appointed a
doctor of the southern prison The salary
is $500 year. The appointment will be
made by the Governor. The terms of two
of tho directors, Wilson and Norvell, have
just expired. Their successors should have
been elected by the General Assembly at its
late session, but it was part of the Democratic
plan to prevent it. If the Legislature had
elected the directors, Robinson, being a mem
ber could not have been chosen Now he
may be appointed, and rumor says he will be.

THE notorious DR.. Harrison has been in the
habit of stopping at the different benevolent
institutions when he visited the city, several
days or nights at time, as suited his con-
venience. This is in harmony with his man
agement of the institutions, treating them
first as political machine and next as per-
sonal convenience.

Following is an English article on
the letter referred to above:
Among the projects for lettering the
condition of NEEDY gsntlewomen"
that of sending them out to Califor-
mia to fill positions as domestics in
families has evoked an angry protest
from an Englishwoman resident in
San Francisco. This lady expresses
herself in forcible terms respecting
Californian society, which she declares
to be repugnant to Ehglishwomen.
"The morals are loose, virtue is de-
rided, and good conduct not esteemed.
Most of the reputed rich classes were
servant-girls at one time, and the men
miners, who at last struck it rich L
would rather see girl of mine dead
than be here in any domestic service"
The needy English gentle
woman is not merely warned
off on ON account of the uncon-
g niaIity of Californian manners, of
"the grasping, selfish, cute yet igno-
rant community" who "put dress and
outside show before any intrinsic
worth, and who are Trough in man
ners and ignore sentiment and refine
ment." These broad, sweeping state
ments might shake the nerves of the
needy gentlewoman. On tue other
hand, they might fire her with ambi-
ton to enter society where she
might exert good influence and be as
the little leaven which leaveneth the
lump. The decisive point in the pro-
test from San Francisco is the declara-
ton that competition is keen enough
in California already, that the needy
gentlewoman is not wanted, and that
the Chinaman is preferred for domes-
tic work. Mrs. M. E. Parker, OF
Warrington, to whom the emigration
project is attributed, will have to
answer this protest or reconsider her
scheme.-[Daily News, London, No

good work must find its opponents.
Adverse letters have appeared in our
British papers, professedly written by

Eraminerand Times, in which she says
that, on account of the gross immoral

see her daughter dead than send her
as q help" "These women are not
| wanted here. They would be out OF
place. The native Californian likes

they would rather part with their hus-
bands than their Chlnaman."
AS soon as l had read Miss
Westwood's letter, replied
to the same paper, that l considered
the letter gross libel, and that l
thought the tone OF mo ality and
religion, especially at Pasadena, OF

Items of Fashion.

Dark green felt hats are in favor.
All sorts OF fancy colored borders
appear on new handkerchiefs.
None but street suits and walking
dresses are made with coat sleeves
this fall.
Stockings and gloves in Sardinean
green attest to the popularity of this
new shade. 1t is a deep dull green
that this fall is most fashionable.
Tight fitting jackets of velvet and
velveteens are worn in the house,
with a variety OF shirts.
Lace is more used in millinery and
dress decoration than ever, and all
kinds of laces are in vogue.
Lace fischus attached to high dog
collars of ribbon, decorated with lace
and beads, are shown among toilet
novelties.
The fischu collarettes of brad, steel !,
silver, gold and jet passementerie are
feature in this fall's accessories OF
the toilet.
Felt is restored to popular favor for
bonnets, as we'll as for hats, and the
new felts are beautifully soft, plant
and smooth OF finish.
Steel and silver net passementerle
collarettes and fischus, made effective
with opal tinted brads, are used on

Fancy handerchiefs come in tinted

They are small and dainty.
Many of the imported frocks have

belts, but full plastron drapery over
the front of the bodice and down the
skirt to the bottom.

Comfort in Life.

Hotel life was never more popular
in America than it is at the present.
The prejudice that ''home comfort"
was antagonlstic to hotel principles is
relic OF the past. 1t has been proved
that as much retirement, as much in
dependence, is to be found under the
roof of the largest hostelry as in the
abodes where single families are sup
posed to dwell in peace and harmony.
1t depends wholly on the individual
whether it is to be Il
narrow surface existence, or the
''intime" freedom reserved for
those who know how to live. But
every year develops the American
capacity for getting the best out of life,
and in this very hotel patronage,
which is national characteristic, it
has shown exceeding good judgment.
Some time hence this country may
weary OF this mode of living, but now
people who have tried others turn
with feeling of content to the expen-
sive and luxurious liberty of these
modern caravansaries. Immunity
from housekeeping is the secret of its
popularity. While housekeeping grows
daily more difficult, the hotel becomes
more OF a home, and exemplifies more
of the refined elements of private life

Domestic woman

Is at once a human benefactor and a
martyr. She is ever at the disposal
OF her family, who, in consequence OF
her unselfishness, are unaware that
she possesses either personality or
feeling, and who without the slightest
scruple, urge her on like the willing
horse who is ready to drop in the har-
ness. Ii the husband or children get
sick she must nurse or encourage
them; if they get cross or disheart-
ened, she must bear in meekness and
silence the fruits of their discolored
numorI. But ii she gets sick, she
must also get well the best way she
can; while under no circumstances is
she allowed the privilege of indulging
any mood inconsistent with her char
acter OF drudge. That she requires any
clothes, or pleasure, or change
is an idea that never must be coun-
tenancrd. There are comparatively
few women are capable OF. this degree
OF self-Abnegation, but scattered over
the face of the earth there are here
and there to be found those whose
lives are exclusively given up to the
needs and wishes of others, and never,
until they are dead, and the void
they leave behind them attests to
their usefulness, are appreciated.
